[00:42.68]Jack and John were foresters.They had to work in a forest every day.
[00:50.94]They had to cut down dead trees and plant young ones.
[00:57.21]They had to make paths through the forest.
[01:01.94]Every day they took their axes into the forest.
[01:08.18]One day.Jack dropped his axe into the river.
[01:15.55]John was working in a different part of the forest.
[01:20.40]He could not help Jack.
[01:23.77]'I can't go into the river on my own and look for my axe he thought.
[01:30.23]'The current is too strong.I cannot swim well enough.'
[01:35.66]He turned to go home when a god came out of the water.
[01:41.59]The god held up a golden axe.
[01:45.46]'Is this your axe?' he asked Jack. 'No,'Jack said.
[01:56.01]'That's not mine. It's too good.' The god held up a silver axe.
[02:04.08]'Is this your axe?' he asked.
[02:10.53]Again Jack said,'No, that's not mine. It's too good.'
[02:18.27]Then the god held up Jack's axe. 'That's mine,' Jack said.'Thank you.'
[02:27.64]The god was pleased with Jack.
[02:31.72]He gave him the golden and silver axes as well as his own axe.
[02:39.87]When Jack returned to the hut,he told john about the axes.
[02:46.64]John hurried off to the river and threw his axe into the water.
[02:54.00]The god came out of the water and held up his axe.
[03:00.06]'Is this your axe?' he asked John.
[03:05.99]'No,no'John said. 'That's not good enough.Try again.'
[03:12.44]'This is the only axe in the river,'
[03:18.40]the god said and threw it back into the water.
[03:25.48]John never saw his axe again.
